IMPROVEMENT IN STUMP-EXTRACTORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,609, dated February 13, 1872.

an d com bination of parts hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a top or plan View. Fig. .Z is a vertical section ot' Fig. l taken on the line .t fr.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents a frame, which, for convenience in moving from place to place, is attached to a sled, A. One side of the frame is hinged to the f beams of the sled, as seen vat B B, so that the machine may be raised up to ba-lance on the sled and elevate the standards from the ground. A truck instead of a sled may be used.l The upper portion of the machine consists of tivo inclined timbers, D and E, the lower ends ot' which are spread apart and attached to the frame A, as seen in the drawin These two timbers are confined together by the cross-piece F, and supported from the frame by the posts g g. H is the pulley, on a rod which passes through the timbers D E. The upper ends of these timbers are confined together by the block I, which supports ina box a cross-shaft, J, to the ends of which shaft are attached the stands K K. The lower ends of these stands rest upon the ground in hoisting. The shaft J turns in its box, so that the stands K K can be moved toward or from the sled, as may be desired. L L are blocks on the beams of the sled, which are slotted so that they will slide forward under the frame when the machine is raised. This is done when the machine is moved, as the machine may be therebyy balanced or nearly balanced for moving, and it may also be done for properly adjusting the machine to a stump, rock., or other article. N is the windlass, which is supported in boxes on the timbers D E, upon t which windlass there is a ratchet-wheel, O. P is the pawl-lever, by means of which the windlass is revolved. Q; is aI holding-pau'l, pivoted to the cross-piece F. R It vare the hoistingchains or ropes, attached to the windlass and passing up over the pulley H, from which they hang, with hooks upon theirA pendent ends.

In raising a stump, rock, or other article, the machine is se adjusted that the article to be raised is exactly under the pulley H.

S S are supportingrods for holding the stands K K in position. They are attached to the timbers D E or to the frame A, and may be constructed and arranged in any manner. T T are handles for raising the machine.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat'- ent- 1. The frame A, timbers D E, standards K, windlass N, pulley H, and vhoisting-chains or ropes It It, arranged substantially as and 'for the purposes described.

2. The standard-shaftJ and block I, in combination with the standards K K, as seen, and for the purposes described.
